Chapter 33: Borrowing Soldiers!
"A chance to eat meat?"
"Please let me eat meat?"
Ding Wei immediately stopped closing the door, turned his head to look at Li Yunlong, and showed an interested look on his face: "Do you have a baggage team that has taken a fancy to the devil?" Where is the location? Is the message accurate? ”
Eat meat!
Meat refers to the Devil's Baggage Team.
Moreover, it is still the kind of ammunition army ration baggage team that is relatively fat.
But it's not easy to eat this meat.
First, it is difficult to grasp the information of the devil's baggage team, and the specific action date and route, the devil covers it very tightly, and often works hard to prepare for a day, only to find out that it is the devil who makes a false shot and releases false news, and second, the escort team of this baggage team is not easy to deal with.
If you don't get it, you didn't eat the meat, but knocked out a mouthful of teeth.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Li Yunlong smiled trademarkly, and then squeezed his eyes: "One hundred and seventy fat white pigs passed by at my door, and I naturally can't let go of this opportunity to eat a big meal, as for whether the news is accurate, my pots and pans are ready, so I sent my brother to borrow me a pair of chopsticks, you said that the news is accurate." ”
Li Yunlong compared the 170 Kwantung Army devils to big white pigs.
As for the three hundred and thirty, the puppet army of the two squadrons, Li Yunlong didn't bother to mention it.
Although the 'iron and stone' puppet army claims to be comparable to the second-line division of the devil and is the elite of the puppet army, the so-called title is just a claim after all, maybe it can have a little bit of the strength of the devil's second-line division just after the start of the fight, but how long can it be maintained? A second? Two seconds? Three seconds?
The devils of the second-line division have a bushido spirit brainwashing, and a bullshit emperor has called for it, and this group of traitors who betray the country to seek glory only picked up guns for the sake of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
A bunch of garbage!
"One hundred and seventy big fat pigs? In front of your house? ”
Ding Wei pondered the meaning of Li Yunlong's words.
One hundred and seventy pigs, which shows that the devil's baggage team is about the size of a squadron, this strength, in the past, was a hard nut to crack, but now whether it is a new regiment or an independent regiment, it can be eaten relatively easily. As for the front of the house, it shows that the route passed by the devil's baggage team is not far from Li Yunlong's station.
"How do you want me to eat?"
The meaning of Li Yunlong's words was obvious, and he didn't tell him the specific place and time, indicating that he didn't plan to invite him to a big dinner, so Ding Wei didn't bother to be verbose and went straight to the topic.
In his opinion, Li Yunlong should be looking for him for help.
It will take at least more than an hour to eat a squadron of devil baggage, and during this period, the devil will definitely send reinforcements, so let him block the nearby devil reinforcements.
"Haha, refreshing."
Li Yunlong smiled: "Your cavalry company will lend me to use, and I will give you two tons of canned pork after the matter is completed, and in addition, I will pay for all the ammunition consumption of your cavalry company during this battle." ”
"Borrow my cavalry company?"
"Give me two tons of canned pork?"
Ding Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yunlong.
Ambushed the devil's baggage team, and instead of coming to me for reinforcement and mobilizing the devils, they came to me to borrow a cavalry company. Moreover, two tons of canned pork were paid. It's not easy to get, it's no more difficult than weapons and ammunition.
And it's two tons, which is equivalent to about 20 fat pigs!
Interesting...
"The devil's canned pork?"
Ding Wei frowned.
It's not that he dislikes it, but the devil's canned pork, the taste is real, it's better to get a devil's mule to eat······
"!"
Li Yunlong naturally tried the taste of the devil's canned pig's head: "Is the devil's canned food eaten by his mother?" Labor and management give you good goods, good things imported from abroad, more fragrant than fresh pork! ”
Good stuff abroad?
Ding Wei thought of the batch of sophisticated weapons and ammunition of unknown origin.
"That's okay, the cavalry company will take you back directly."
Ding Wei nodded: "However, you have to give me five tons of canned pork, and more than 100 cavalry from labor and management are dispatched, and you only give two tons of pork, which is too damn picking." ”
How can you not bargain when doing business?
"No way!"
Li Yunlong glared, of course he disagreed: "I don't have much labor and management, and I will give you five tons, so I'm not working in vain?" No, absolutely not, no more, two tons at most.
"And I gave these two tons for the sake of our relationship."
Five tons, that's fifty barrels, and the labor and management themselves are only five hundred barrels.
"Then give me Sun Desheng!"
Ding Wei didn't continue to entangle with Li Yunlong, but changed a condition easily: "You don't have a cavalry company anyway, Sun Desheng has no problem giving it to me, right?" It's a waste to put you! ”
Regarding the fact that he gave Sun Desheng to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei regretted it when he thought about it.
At that time, he didn't know that there was such a good cavalry talent in the regiment, and it was not until the batch of horse brigade headquarters in Wanjia Town issued him a company that he knew that there was a top cavalry talent in his regiment.
At the beginning, he almost went directly to Li Yunlong to ask for someone.
"No way!"
Li Yunlong will not agree anymore: "Sun Desheng was obtained by me with great difficulty, do you want it?" There are no doors, and besides, the cavalry companies of labor and management themselves are also being formed, and they are almost formed. ”
"Now to you, what about the labor-management cavalry company?"
This is true, Li Yunlong has always wanted to form a cavalry company, the speed and support ability of the cavalry are very important, but the military horses are too difficult to handle, and it is not easy to raise a cavalry company, so he has no frowns.
"!"
Ding Wei rolled his eyes: "You have a cavalry company, so why do you still borrow labor?" ”
"Hey, don't you have all the equipment yet?"
Li Yunlong sighed: "Cavalry and military horses are difficult to handle, you can't buy them, and devils are not easy to get hold of." ”
After a pause, Li Yunlong also knew that two tons of canned meat couldn't stop this guy's mouth, and his battle plan really needed a cavalry company, so without waiting for Ding Wei to continue to ramble, Li Yunlong said:
"Canned meat really can't give more, so how about I give you an 82 mortar with 150 82 mortar shells after I finish the deed? That's interesting enough, right? ”
"When the time comes, your cavalry battalion will bring it back directly, and you don't have to worry about being intercepted halfway by the brigade headquarters."
As long as these 500 devils and puppet troops are killed this time, an 80 kilogram of weapons and ammunition, then there will be 40 tons of weapons and ammunition, and an 82 mortar plus 150 shells will only be a ton, which is trivial.
As for, who is more important, three tons of canned meat and a ton of mortars and shells?
In the past, Li Yunlong said without hesitation, of course, it was a mortar.
Artillery is the guts of the infantry, artillery is the soul of the infantry, and of course the more cannons, the better.
But now that the mortars in the regiment are rich and an artillery company has been formed, Commander Li has to admit that artillery is more important than artillery, and if he is given a good artillery now, then he can exchange it for artillery.
There are no good gunners, no good artillery, and the artillery is of little effect.
It's a pity that there are only a few good gunners at the headquarters, and he wants to change them, but I'm afraid that if the people don't get them, the things will be confiscated.
Moreover, the shells are very heavy, it is difficult to transport supplies, an 82 mortar plus ammunition supply transportation requires fifty people to serve, give him an artillery battalion, he has to allocate at least a logistics team of a thousand people to serve.
"One 82 forced plus one hundred and fifty shells?"
Ding Wei's eyes widened, and his tone was full of incredulity.
"Yes!"
Li Yunlong smiled: "The range of this cannon is four kilometers, which is farther than the devil's 92 infantry gun, it's interesting enough!" ”
"Four km range?"
Ding Wei suddenly lost his temper.
The mortar is four kilometers, so the more accurate firing range is three kilometers, and this distance can already wrestle with the 92 infantry artillery. If you have a good gunner, you can even suppress the 92 infantry. After all, mortars are much more mobile than infantry guns.
"Okay!"
Without hesitation, Ding Wei nodded in agreement.
Although he was very sure in his heart that this was much more than trading Li Yunlong, the price of one cannon and one hundred and fifty mortar shells was completely enough. And he doesn't have any extra capital to bargain.
Although there were few cavalry companies, there were still a few. But if you give up the mortar for it, this is it.
"Haha..."
Li Yunlong immediately smiled and hooked up with Ding Wei.
After Li Yunlong left with the cavalry company, Ding Wei found a map and spread it on the table, thinking about Li Yunlong's ambush battle.
The new map was issued by the General Staff Headquarters not long ago, and every regiment has it, and this map is not only extremely accurate, but also the surrounding terrain and topography are marked in detail, which is many times better than the previous manual mapping and hand-drawn map.
Ding Wei lay on the map, his eyes swept over and over again with Yang Village as the center.
Where does this dog have a crush on the devil's baggage team?
Still holding it up?
The north of Yangcun is the direction of Taiyuan, the devils in Taiyuan have airplanes and cavalry wings, within a hundred miles, the planes can arrive in half an hour, and the cavalry can arrive in two hours.
To the west is the 772nd and 773rd regiment stations, and there are mountain roads in between, and there will be no baggage teams of devils passing through.
There are two devil stations in the south, but these two strongholds are a little far away from Yang Village, and the devils have stationed a full brigade of troops nearby, and a regiment is afraid that it will knock out a tooth in the past.
The only possibility is Shou County. But didn't Li Yunlong just beat up the devil in Shou County before? Moreover, the devil baggage team in Shou County generally came from the direction of Yangquan. He Li Yunlong can't reach it!
Ding Wei looked at the map on the table, puzzled.
So far, the devil's baggage team has become honest, not as arrogant as it was at the beginning, so that the Eighth Route Army is not so easy to succeed. A good opportunity to attack is not easy to find.
······
Returning to the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong began to prepare for battle.
Armament war!
First of all, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions were supplemented with a large number of new soldiers, and the whole battalion was expanded to 600 men per battalion. Each battalion had four infantry companies, each with ten infantry squads, twelve men each, each armed with one light machine gun.
After a period of running-in training, Li Yunlong split the two 60 mortar platoons of the artillery company, assigned a mortar squad to each battalion, and the artillery squad was equipped with a 60 mortar, and then asked each battalion to form a fire company.
Each fire company was armed with five Bren guns and one 60 mortar.
Different from the light bipods of the accompanying infantry squad, the Bren type of the fire platoon is equipped with a high tripod weighing more than ten kilograms, which can be used for ultra-low-altitude air defense when necessary, and the mortar can also effectively enhance the troops' ability to suppress the devil's heavy machine guns.
Li Yunlong's plan is simple.
Since each battalion has reached the scale of 600 people, it should also have independent combat capability, and at least be able to wrestle with the devils of one squadron, so he delegated mortars and formed a firepower company with a certain air defense capability to enhance the independent combat capability of each battalion, so that he could have many more choices when deploying operations in the future.
As for the artillery company, it was changed in its establishment, the original platoon equipped with two 82 mortars remained unchanged, and the remaining two or three platoons were merged, temporarily equipped with 60 mortars, and after the arrival of the next 82 mortar, he planned to change all the guns of the artillery company to 82 mortars.
The future 60 mortars will all be devolved to the battalion level.
However, in this way, Li Yunlong once again encountered the problem of a shortage of qualified gunners.
His plan was to equip each battalion with two 60 mortars. The artillery company is equipped with four to six 82 mortars, so it needs to be at least a good gunner, and his whole regiment, in fact, only has three gunners, one of which is still the commander of the artillery company, Yan Sheng.
"Hey·····"
"If only Brother Chen Fan could buy a gunner!"
With a sigh, Li Yunlong muttered to himself.
Gun shooting is three points and one line, any person can be taught in three minutes, and you can master it in a few days, if you are a hunter when you are a child, even if you are a hunter who plays with arrows, you can directly pull it to shoot the target.
Shoot a hundred rounds of bullets, no matter what the talent is, at least you can mix up a usable marksmanship.
As for the maintenance and maintenance of firearms, even the stupid guy can easily master it after a month, check it a few more times, teach it a few more times.
But the mortar of curve fire is not the same.
Mortars are simple in structure, easy to get started, and can be used by anyone, but it is not easy for gunners to go to the battlefield.
Not only to play accurately, but also to play fast and accurately.
Visual ranging, optical sight curve aiming, or further ballistic artillery watches, if you want to master these techniques proficiently, you either have a certain knowledge of artillery, such as Yan Sheng, or you are talented, such as Wang Chengzhu of the new regiment.
Therefore, the training of qualified gunners is very time-consuming, and even if it is a light 60 mortar, it will take at least several months to play with it, and it will have to go through several actual battles.
Relatively speaking, on the contrary, the mountain cannon with direct aim at three points and one line is simpler and easier to use.
"Damn..."
After a headache for a long time, Li Yunlong simply scolded and made up his mind: "Labor and management will get more shells, I won't believe it, tens of thousands of shells can't feed a few good gunners!" ”
Li Yunlong, who had made up his mind, took with him all the most of the mortar shells of the whole regiment on the day of departure. Especially the 82 mortar shells, the remaining hundreds of rounds he took with him.
